Notes: Although a critical and commercial disappointment upon domestic release, this stodgy drama aroused enough interest due to its Australian setting to have a strong suburban performance in Melbourne, only just missing the EF top 50. A strong number of weeks and Saturdays bolstered the points although there were no notable figures in the rankings, instead just good, solid numbers. Prison Warden was its regular support.
